ike so many of Terreux's beers, this traditional beer, a Berliner weissbier, is kicked up to another level thanks to fermentation in the bewery's oak foeders, which are loaded with “house cultures.” The resulting brew is everything you'd expect from a Berliner weisse—tart, funky and refreshing—but with even more funky complexity and oaky nuance. The bouquet is all sour funk, with forward aromas of tart lemon, green apple and white grape that mingle with earthy tones of leather, vinegar-soaked oak and a wild, barnyard character. Those notes mostly carry through to the bright palate, grounded by a just-there core of cracker malt and wheat to keep the tart, wild characteristics from completely overwhelming the sip. There's a subtle texture to the otherwise smooth mouthfeel, with a lingering astringency that complements the tartness on the close. Lauren Buzzeo

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
